SPEECH BY HER EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA,
SHRIMATI PRATIBHA DEVISINGH PATIL
AT THE WHITE HORSE TEMPLE
Luoyang, China, 29th May 2010




Reverend Yin Le, Chief Abbott of the White Horse Temple,

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to be here in Luoyang to dedicate the Indian-
style Buddhist Temple in the White Horse Temple complex, to
friendship between the people of India and the people of China.

Luoyang is widely considered to be the cradle of Chinese civilization.
The White Horse Temple, being one of the rst Buddhist Temples in
China, has been a cultural and spiritual centre for centuries.
Historically, it has the unique distinction of symbolizing an inter-
mingling of Indian and Chinese cultures. As the resting place of two
great cultural ambassadors from India, the monk-scholars
Kashyapamatanga and Dharmaratna, it is a reminder of how our
civilizations enriched each other.

Located is such a signicant place, the Indian-style Buddhist Temple is
a gift from the people of India to a sister civilization - one with which
we share so many valuable associations and memories of interaction.
It is particularly appropriate that this inauguration takes place during
the 60th Anniversary year of the establishment of diplomatic relations
between the Republic of India and the People's Republic of China.
Even though we are young nations, we are ancient civilizations. Our
civilizational contact dates back several millennia. Undoubtedly,
Indian monks contributed signicantly to Buddhism in China.

Equally remarkable was the role played by Chinese travellers and
scholars such as Fa Xian, Xuan Zang and Yi Jing, whose writings not
only enriched Chinese literature, but also proved to be a remarkable
source of understanding of India's own ancient history.






As an example, Xuan Zang is an important gure in all history text
books in India. I am condent that the Indian-style Buddhist temple
will also be perceived by generations to come as a testimony of our
friendship.

The Indian-style Temple has the architectural impression of the Sanchi
Stupa and the image of the Sarnath Buddha, the two most important
icons of Buddhist architecture in India. Its construction is the outcome
of dedicated work of countless individuals and organizations in the
two countries. It has been a labour of love for the Indian craftsmen
who worked painstakingly on the beautiful carvings and artistic
decorations that adorn it. I would like to appreciate and thank them
all. Three of them are with us here today - Akshaya Jain, Raka
Chakravorty and Dilip Kumar Nag. Similarly, the temple is also the
result of valuable assistance provided by the Chinese authorities. I take
this opportunity to thank them, especially the Provincial Government
of Henan and the city authorities of Luoyang, for their efforts in
realizing this monument of India- China friendship.

I hope that this shrine will further enhance people-to-people contact
between India and China by encouraging greater exchange in the
current age and in times to come.

Thank you.
